高校剣道部ＯＢ会 OB party high school Kendo club

私は、高校生時代3年間剣道部に在籍。
剣道は小学校1年生から初めて、下手くそながら大学2年までの14年間もやってて
このブログでも紹介してますが、去年の12月から約20年振りに再開。
今回は、故郷の旭川市で高校剣道部のＯＢ会が有り参加しました。
写真は懇親会での集合写真。

何処かへ行ってしまい人が変った様に優しくなってました。

When I was high school student, I was in Kendo club team for 3 years.

I started Kendo from first grade in elementary school to second year in university so it has been for 14 years I played Kendo but I’m not good at it though.

You may know, I‘ve said some times in this blog that I re-started Kendo again from last Dec, after an interval of 20 years.

This time, my high school Kendo club team had OB party in my home town, Asahikawa-city, so I was joining it.

This picture is the party group photo.

The front row

Second person from left side is my very old master of Kendo, Tomita-teacher.

He is my best teacher of Kendo and I really appreciate him.

He has thought me lots of thing about Kendo since I was elementary school student and I can never catch him at Kendo forever. He is seventh grade master of Kendo.

Third person from left side is Nakamura-teacher, Kendo club master.

Now he is 75 years old. When we were high school student, he was so strict and scary master for us but today, he has been totally changed to very mild person.

It maybe because he got age, I think.

Most right side lady wearing orange clothes is my classmate Acchan, showing up in my blog sometimes.

Last month, she could get second place in fifth master grade of Kendo competition in Hokkaido.

Acchan, you are too strong!

The back row

The most right person is me.

Third guy from right side, wearing navy shirt is my young brother. 

7月北海道出張 Business Trip to Hokkaido in Jul

さて今月も10日～15日の日程で北海道出張でした。
今回は、初日の晩が遠軽で宿泊予約が取れずに北見市で宿泊。
そんな訳で北見駅前で写真撮影しました！

I was on business trip to Hokkaido again from 10th to 15th Jul.

This time, I couldn’t get reservation of hotel at first night in Engaru town so I stayed in Kitami city at the night.

So I’ve taken a picture in front of Kitami station.

思わぬ被害 unexpected damage

前回の北海道出張中に、台風5号が静岡を直撃。
確か6/20だったと思う。
あれから約3週間が経ち、街中あちこちの桜の木に変化が。
そう葉が枯れてしまってます。
あまりの風の強さに海水が巻き上げられて、雨と一緒に降り注いだ事が
原因だそうです。いわゆる塩害。
写真は苗木を撮りましたが、大きな桜の木も同様に多くの葉が枯れて
しまってるよ。来年ちゃんと咲くのかね？

During last time business trip to Hokkaido, Typhoon 5th directly hit my home town Shizuoka prefecture.

It was maybe 20th Jun, I think.

3 weeks were going from the day and I could find some difference on cherry trees in my town.

Yes, leaves are dying.

The reason of the dying is strong winds raise seawater and the seawater was coming down as rain in our area.

What we call damage from salt.

I’ve taken a cherry sapling but also big trees are being died same as sapling.

Next spring, can we see cherry blossom same as usual or not??

ホタテ貝柱 Scallop

昨日6/30から大阪の嫁の実家へ行って来ました。
先週の北海道出張時に、旭川の行きつけの魚屋さんから嫁さんの実家へ
特大ホタテ貝柱と牡丹エビをクール便で送りました。
嫁さんの実家は3姉妹だけど、息子はまだワシだけで行くと何時もホント
良くして貰うのでタマには美味しい物をって事で送ったんだけど、
写真を見てみて！貝柱のデカイこと！
一緒に写っているグレープフルーツと比較すると如何にデカイか解るでしょ？
味は言うまでも無く最高よ！

I went to my wife’s home from yesterday, 30th Jun.

Last week, when I was on business trip to Hokkaido, I visited fish dealer in Asahikawa I always use and sent very big scallop and Botan shrimp to my wife’s home by cool home delivery service.

My wife is 3 sisters but son in-low is only me so when I visit wife’s house, my parents in-low always so kind to me so I want to show my appreciation to them by delicious Hokkaido sea food.

Please look below picture! The Scallop is so big, right?

You may understand how big it is! if you compare with grape fruits in a picture.

Of cause, the taste also fantastic!

北海道出張 Business Trip to Hokkaido

6/18～23で北海道出張。
今回初めて女満別空港を利用したので写真撮影しました。北海道には
空港が幾つも有るので、北海道民でも地元の空港以外は殆ど行く事
無いですね。
さて、今週本州では最高気温30度を超え真夏日だった様ですが、北海道遠軽町は
朝の気温ナント8.8度。町民は家でストーブを炊いたらしいです。確かにサブかったわ。
でも、もう直ぐ7月ですがね・・・・。

I was on business trip to Hokkaido from 18th to 23rd Jun

This time was first experience for me to use Memanbetsu airport so I took a picture.

Hokkaido is my home area but Hokkaido has some airports so I haven’t had chance to use other than my home town, Asahikawa, airport.

Anyway, this week, maximum temperature in main land of Japan was over 30 degree so it was kind of Midsummer Day but morning temperature at Engaru town in Hokkaido is 8.8 degree.

Engaru people said they used stove in the morning.

I can understand it was really cool morning but you know, Jul will be coming soon, right?

稽古後 After kendo Training

今日も剣道部の稽古に行って来ましたよ。
雨が降ったので気温は低く約20度程度。でも、マジ!?って思う程の汗の量。
これが本州か～！と納得したく無いけど納得。
さてさて、剣道再開して約６ヵ月。全然進歩が無くて稽古の後は傷だらけ。
胸に赤いキスマーク。彼女からのプレゼントなら良いのですが、現実は彼からの
痛いお仕置きよ。
何時まで経っても返り討ち。
でも、何時か叩き返す日を夢見て頑張るぞ！

Today, I went to Kendo training.

We had rain today so the temperature was low, about 20degree, but in the training I got sweat really a lot.

Main land of Japan is really hot in summer season so I don’t want to understand the summer is coming but I have to accept it.

Anyway, 6 months was going from I re-started Kendo again but my skill haven’t improved yet so every time after Kendo training, I get lots of hacks.

If it is kiss mark from girl friends, it is fine and really nice but fact is hurts from club members.

I’m trying to beat them every time but always defeated again and again.

I’ll do revenge someday and my dream must be coming true!

中国出張 Business trip to China

6/5～9まで中国出張。今回は成田→大連→杭州→上海→杭州→成田のルート。
大連で宿泊したホテルInn Fineホテルが非常に豪華な部屋だったので
動画で撮影しましたよ。
体は一つしか無いのにテレビが2台、トイレが2つ、シャワールームとバスタブが
それぞれ有り どうせっチューねんっ！て感じ。ベットも大きなダブル。
これで1泊770元　約9,600円（朝食付き）です。

From 5th to 9th Jun, I was on business trip to China.

This time, I was going this route Narita→Dalian→Hangzhou→Shanghai→Hangzhou→Narita.

I’ve taken movie of hotel room Inn Fine hotel, I’ve stayed in Dalian, because the room was so luxury.

As you know, even though my body is only one, the room has 2 TV, 2 toilet, shower room and bathtub.

How do I fully use them? It is absolutely too much!

But bed was double bed so I could really have good sleep, so nice.

The accommodation fee is RMB770 for one night, about JPY9,600, with breakfast.
